Where is the Red Line with Iran?

Dr. Trita Parsi, President of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC) and author of A Single Roll of the Dice: Obama's Diplomacy with Iran, answers a question about where he sees the "red line" that should not be crossed in US-Iranian relations. The question was part of the dialogue at a brown bag lunch and discussion session sponsored by the College of International Studies at the University of Oklahoma on March 2, 2012.

Note: The picture frozen on the video is of the questioner, not Dr. Parsi.

You've captured the essence of the problem and the possible solution, as well as the unfortunate consequences of US threats.
I was shocked to hear that on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's March 2010 visit, he boxed Obama in by publicly declaring a lie. He thanked Obama during the press conference for "not taking the military option off the table." However, Obama had deliberately NOT discussed military options with Netanyahu according to Parsi, who has been part of the negotiations.
Thank you for filming this. I hope you will put it up online.

I won't be able to post the entire video until the end of next week.
